Wright Chat

Then using what I garnered from all that, I made a design for a client on their rural property. This has an outward aspect ( rather than inward) to capture as much winter light as possible - when it rains alot - hence the attached glasshouse. I think it would have a been a rather nice house, but ala...

I wonder how he went.? I studied the house back in the 90's after I purchased the Jacobs book from the Taliesin west book store. If I remember correctly I even got to look at the drawings in the Taliesin vault - thanks Bruce for that - was a delight . Those might be at the Avery archive now? I made ...

There is now also 1952 Bachman Wilson house by Crystal Bridges museum of American Art 2017 - goes into a little about the original family and subsequent owners then the transfer and rebuilding at the Arkansa museum https://crystalbridges.org/frank-lloyd-wright/ amazon link https://www.amazon.com.au/...

Ive used his wilderness scale to show others the value of productive design as compared to consumptive design!

It really is a fantastic( and simplisitic) way of measuring. - How would Mr Wrights design fair?

nice cabin, although I find their work generally to be quite "monumental" - but Ive only seen photos and drawings.

thats seems like a bargain - over here to get something like that you are looking are least 900k

another interesting note on the drawings, in this case 1:1 section detail sheet . in the trellis roof framing- it has a note saying spray 0-flake and points to a squiggly line of an internal fascia above the glass doors - this I interpret to mean "spray some insulation gunk to the interior fram...

I wonder if the word superimposed is used by a specific taliesin person, or was in general use by all and to mean something specifically. In looking at the Schwartz drawings ( july 1939) where the word is used - it seems to be in context of a plan, and as a note for the timber joists - either floor ...

since talking about image magnifiers I have a Filmosto viewing lense - purchased from a camera store - 25 years ago - which is very usefull for looking at the details of published drawings. box https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50015048827_df24c4c3c0_h.jpg filmosto2 by g dorn , on Flickr box and c...

Avery also have EJ Kaufman archives, which includes letters, photos , engineers reports and drawings of the Bear Run house. I wonder if these are a more complete set of drawings-compared to the FLW foundation archives see https://findingaids.library.columbia.edu/ead/nnc-a/ldpd_8971977/dsc/2#subserie...

I wonder if anyone knows what the word : "superimposed" means on the Taliesin drawings - particularly in the framing plans, usually associated with a description of the joists ie joists 3 - 2 x 4" superimposed 1'9" o.c.

Ive received drawings from the Avery archives 63 sheets. many plans showing different layouts and variations including: an early concept plan -possibly by FLW circa may 1935? ( says 535) various studies in plan of different arrangements such as; roof garden over utility with 3rd level over living ro...

Additionally just prior to receiving this email, I did receive a file of the Lloyd Lewis house drawings - most of which have previously been published. Still I thoroughly recommend anyone request a drawings search of any of the FLW projects they have listed. This list of available documents ( ie FLW...
